Summary
I am a third-generation licensed general contractor from Orange County, California. I am bonded and insured. I take great pride in restoring and remodeling homes. When I work on a client's home, I treat it like my own. Client's create memories with their family, in the home I've been entrusted to renovate. I value that trust. With this, I have built lifelong relationships with these families.
As a Licensed General Contractor, I am confident and knowledgeable in construction protocols and standards. Offering more than 28 years of successfully landing projects that exceed client expectations and meet budgetary constraints. Considered a top notch professional with exceptional composure.
